Thanks, its nice to finally see some of the hard work pay off.

Okay will upload some of them right now and post them up.

THANKS!

Not sure why you would need to refill the Clutch MS once it is properly bled. But i would have to find a flexible funnel or just take that one side off.

Exhaust tip is 4.5 inches, and the piping is 3 in. Turbo ready.

Okay I guess I will post pictures up of the wheels on the car now before paint.
This was right after i got the fenders rolled but final ride height was not set yet in front. Going into a corner hard the tires would rub because I am not tubbed up front.


Here is another picture I took at the last meet I hope to attend with the car being three different colors lol. This was still at the wrong height.


And finally here is a picture from today after a wash, unfortunately the sun was not out so the wheels weren't shining as much. But I raised the front a little and it doesn't seem to be rubbing anymore so this should be the height it stays at for a while.


I am hoping to take the car up to paint within the next week or two but just trying to find the time to take it in is the difficult part lol. I can't wait to have this thing all one color with all the aero on it finally.

I am very pleasantly surprised by how this car is turning out.

Keep it up.

Okay Update time...

I took a few more pictures with the car before driving the 2 hour drive to drop it off at paint finally...




The day I dropped it off at paint. I am getting it painted factory pearl white WK0, all the jambs will be done along with all the windows being pulled. They are also painting and installing my JDM front lip, Side skirts, and rear Valances.


And here are some progress pictures from the Painter, these are a few days old but the car should be finished by mid next week






I can't wait to see how it turns out...

After I get the car back I am going to start looking for another KA to build for this thing. Also still have to install my helical diff, sway bars, order some bigger brakes(CTSV) and Nismo power brace. As for the motor I will take my time on that because I want to build it myself. I will go fully built to handle my Holset HY35 I have setting around looking for 325-350HP reliably.

I'm doing the same you are man, I'm keeping it ka. I'm looking for one to build, I want to do a 350hp build. Just a fun street build.

Well I will let the pictures do the talking. Picked the car up yesterday, have to wait for paint to fully cure then taking it back up for touch ups, color sand, and buff.

Beijing_Raccoon

Looking good man! Would you mind if I asked you how much you payed/where and what was needed to be done?

CrimsonRockett

Looks great.

Get it painted with Erik in Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga?

I love this car so much. Attention to detail is everything. This thing is seriously almost perfect.

Yes, I try to use quality parts on my car. I do see a lot of people using cheap shit on their cars a lot. I daily this car so i have to use products that last and they generally are OEM or of same quality or better than OEM. For my motor build which will be a slow process I will try to use brand name products that are tried and true in the industry. I have yet to really put a list together of what i really want the build to consist, but like i have applied to the current state of my car everything i choose i will have researched like a dope fiend trying to find a high lol.

I am glad there are others out there that appreciate a clean, period correct, built with quality parts car as it seems there are less and less of us around nowadays.

revat619

did you get new window trim/seals for all the windows too?

For the front and rear windows yes OEM, the door seals are still pretty good but will need to be replaced down the road.

Here is a comparison picture of what the car looked like when i got it and now how it sets a little over 2 years after:



and here is another random shot of my car lol:


Tomorrow I am going to pick up a KA long block or two depending on how things go...

mastadon

Damn you must be so happy. Really reminds me of the transformation my first 240 had. Only difference was I went s14sr and 5zigen fn01r (back when they first came out). Love the look.

Lees_Garage

Car looks beautiful. Great job.

Wheeeeew,

If you want the most recent pictures of my car without waiting for an update on here then follow me on Instagram

I wish I had bigger updates but I don't lol. I just moved into a new place. However now I must put the rest of the stuff I want to do on the back burner as I need to start saving up again. I have a motor and trans I would like to rebuild and go KA-T but the way things are looking it may just be a 2017 project. This is because my build list keeps getting bigger and bigger. I want to use quality parts and do it right the first time. So this means it's going to take some time to save up again lol. I have done a few things to the car however and figured I would keep all of you up to date.

First off I finally graduated college with a BA in Criminology and Justice studies. I am happy to say that the 240 took me to school everyday I needed without any issues except for that one time some ass hit my car in the parking lot...


I decided I needed to change up a few things on the car I had CTSV 4 pot brakes setting in my room for quite some time now and I figured that I should finally put them on the car. I wanted to try and get them on before I was planning to move into my new place.

I was unable to get them done while at my old place but was able to get most of the prep work done prior.

I wanted to pick up another transmission so I could rebuild it while building my motor. The plan is to have a fresh rebuilt trans, a fully built KA-T and a new one piece driveshaft to install all at the same time so the car will be almost like new. I was able to find one local that is in good shape so I will just be replacing the bearings in it and cleaning it up.

The past two weeks have been pretty crazy, I was able to start moving stuff into my new house that has a garage! I hope that in time I will be able to expand my tools and be able to work on my motor and trans whenever I feel the need. I can spend the time I need to make everything as clean as possible so when I am done it will look like I knew what I was doing

Here is a shot of my new garage attached to my house:

Yes that is a lift I am super excited to start working on my car here instead of at my dads house like I have been doing.

So I wasn't able to do the brakes at my house because I need to work on my tool collection and the lift needs a little TLC. So on saturday I took the short 15min drive to my dads place to do some final touch up stuff on my car before this weekends extreme autofest San Diego where I will be showing the car. Since my car is a DD I doubt I will win any awards but I hope people will appreciate it for what it is.

First thing to do was to get the car in the air, as brakes were the task to accomplish for the day. The Z32 brakes were great but I wanted that extra bling of a BBK. While I had everything off I also did a little cleaning and painting of the inner fenders.


I took some before and after pictures:


Front:
Before


After



Rear:
Before


After



I also installed a new front JDM Grill and used black paint behind the front bumper to hide the core support a little better.

Here is how the car sets now, new grill, new tint (5%), new front brakes, new rear brakes, and painted inner fenders. I hope that my hard work has paid off, as of right now I am done with the exterior of the car and love the way it came out.

Here is a picture from Extreme Autofest San Diego. I was a great experience however they put all the nissan's together so I didn't win any awards which was a bummer. I felt like I had the Best S-chassis at the show but ohhhhhh well.

ddr_geo

so damn good. making me love the jdm kit more and more everytime i see this. also, the bbk. fire!!

ZERTA RACING

Yes JDM Aero is legit, but USDM is just as appealing! I think the BBK really set off the whole package on my car. Now I just need to go KA-T LOL. But I think I may need to buy a Daily first as this car is now a cop magnet!

ZenkiKid

Hey Thomas its Derick. We used to race during the SCRC days.

Car is looking good man!
